Video Capture Technology Does More Than Just Record Lectures

Video is becoming increasingly commonplace in educational settings, but Columbia Law School does much more using EchoVideo. The institution sets up mock trials with small groups of students arguing opposite sides of a case. EchoVideo records their performance, allowing students to go back and review not only the energy they put into it but minutiae such as facial expressions and eye contact that would otherwise get lost in the shuffle. The entire University has also come to rely on EchoVideo’s live-streaming capabilities to share presentations and events with a wide student body.

Echo360's e3 Formula in Action

Columbia Law School students are expected to master a tremendous amount of information quickly. EchoVideo allows students to watch presentations as often as necessary for the information to click.

Equity

Many Columbia Law School students don’t speak English as their primary language. EchoVideo provides these learners with the opportunity to repeat lectures and presentations or read along with a transcript to give them an equal chance at success.

Engagement

Columbia Law School has been using EchoVideo for 10 years and students have responded overwhelmingly favorably. While audio recordings were the norm at first, students pushed their instructors to include video and PowerPoint presentations to make content more engaging.

Evidence

EchoVideo provides admin dashboards allowing Columbia Law School stakeholders to quickly monitor how many students are watching video content. The institution records 2,500-3,000 presentations per semester with over 20,000 student views today, and that number is only expected to increase moving forward.

3 Key Takeaways

Transcripts Are Essential

EchoVideo uses automated speech recognition (ASR) technology to caption video presentations and create a searchable database so law students can quickly find and review materials. Instructors can access the database as well to monitor what content is available to their students.

Multimodal Learning

Students learn best in different ways, and reading PowerPoint slides or captions during a recorded lecture allows Columbia Law School students to engage more senses throughout the educational process. That promotes superior learning outcomes.

Intuitive Design

EchoVideo appears as an app on Canvas for Columbia Law School students, meaning its interface feels comfortable and familiar. This makes content more accessible for all learners since they don’t need to struggle with technology to get it.
